Danville, Ky., Pioneer Playhouse: No. 4 in a series of ten new plays: A Terror Since September by Chicago Engineer R. C. Lesser, whose blueprints will be used as decor in this psychological drama...
...pull off this daring gamble-which so far has cost Seibu $8,000,000-Tsutsumi is relying on a retailing formula that blends East and West. Housed in a block-long, four-story building with just touches of Japanese decor-a cluster of lanterns, an occasional screen and a few Nisei girls in geisha costume-Seibu of Los Angeles is essentially an American store with all the usual U.S. retailing gimmicks, including a two-deck parking garage and a roof-garden restaurant with bar.

Proud of her tasteful changes in the White House decor, Jackie led a 45-man CBS crew (trailed by two tons of electronic equipment) through a day-long White House exploration; filmed last week, the guided tour will be presented on television next month. With a tiny microphone and transmitter hidden under her blouse, Jackie commented on everything from the curator's basement headquarters to the Lincoln Bedroom upstairs. So skilled was her performance that only one retake was ordered-and that simply because one of the television cameras had gone out of whack...
